I Broke my Nose About a Month Ago, Will OHIP Cover the Surgery Needed to Fix It?

texaslonghornsNov 10, 2012
Hi, I am 19 years old, male and live in Ontario, Canada. About a month ago, I broke my nose playing baseball. My nose is now crooked and is causing breathing issues. If I wanted to get surgery to fix my broken nose will OHIP cover this? I am also not sure how to address this problem to OHIP, do I call them myself or do I go to my family doctor or plastic surgeon? Thanks Doctors

Your nasal bridge is not too narrow or pinched, it is that the rest of your nose is too wide. A rhinoplasty that narrows your tip area will bring the whole nose in better balance and the bridge will no longer look pinched. Computer imaging will demonstrate that effect so you can see for yourself...
